46th TW biofuel test
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. - Staff Sgt. Matthew Bardell, Staff Sgt. Corey Briggs and Senior Airman Jacob Prine connect a fueling hose to a F-15 prior to a flight test of new environmentally-friendly fuel Oct.22. Aircrews from the 46th Test Wing and Air Force engineers evaluated flight parameters using a blend of standard JP-8 fuel and hydro-treated, renewable jet biofuel. This was the second test conducted at Eglin; an A-10 fuel test proved sucessful results in March. The Air Force is working toward an ambitious goal of changing half of the continental U.S. jet fuel requirement to alternative fuels by 2016. (U.S. Air Force photo/2nd Lt. Andrew Caulk)

Canadian hornet
A Canadian Air Force CF-18 flies over the Eglin Air Force Base range during an air-to-ground Weapons System Evaluation mission. The 86th Fighter Weapons Squadron conducts the WSEP program at Eglin. The WSEP program is used to evaluate the effectiveness and suitability of combat air force weapon systems. The evaluations are accomplished during tactical deliveries of fighter, bomber and unmanned aerial system precision guided munitions, on realistic targets with air-to-air and surface-to-air defenses. For many of the aircrew participating in WSEP, it is the first time employing live weapons. This provides a level of combat experience many units face during combat. Courtesy photo.
